I've finally given in to my love of fabric and I'm trying to teach myself how to quilt. I've picked up a few tips or two from here and there (my older sister is a beautiful quilter and is a wealth of knowledge) so i'm just experimenting. I got a jellyroll of some Moda fabric that I fell in love with and couldn't wait to get going. Here is my messy sewing room/guest room and what I have so far.

Ashlynn practicing her finger positioning.

Briggs with his team, the TIGERS! They didn't have a whole lot of enthusiasm during the first game.

Here is another project that I finished for a friend's new baby ( the quilt. not the brown eyed baby). But that makes me think of a quote I recently saw. "I love to give handmade gifts. Which one of my children would you like."

I'd like to learn how to quilt someday. Maybe eventually when I have a craft room or kids that aren't reaching on the table trying to pull everything off when I'm not looking. Last week Alina ran around the house unraveling a spool of thread. So for now, I have to stick to quit projects that I can put away at the end of each day.

the quilt looks great! it is exciting to try something new and have something tangible to show for it when you are done! i would really like to try our hand at those poofy petticoats you mentioned! it would be fun!
